fewer service stations offering diesel fuel in major urban centres,
so having a larger tank will reduce some range anxiety.
On the styling front, the Cayenne Diesel shares its slippery
shape with the other Cayenne
models and the only external
cue that the vehicle is different
is a subtle diesel badge in traditional Porsche script behind
the front wheels on the fender.
The same can be said of the
interior, as the very businesslike cabin comes equipped with
all the comfort and convenience
features expected in a premium
SUV, and exceptional fit-andfinish. The passenger compartment has been so well insulated
that on several occasions, I had
to put my window down just to
hear the engine. So much for diesels being noisy.
The demand for premium, diesel-powered
SUVs is steadily increasing in many parts
of Canada with offerings from the aforementioned manufacturers already entrenched
on our shores, but for
those consumers looking for sharp looks,
best-in-class fuel efficiency and an optimal driving experience, the Cayenne Diesel
will be hard to beat.
